Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

In my opinion, Dr. Shinin is the best on LI and without a doubt, saved my life. As far as primary care goes, I trust John above and beyond any other physician. Regardless of health status or diagnosis, Dr. Shinin will effectively evaluate your condition/overall health and set you on a path toward repair. If I thanked John 10,000 times, it truly wouldn't be enough.

Not a good "Doctor"
"Doctor" John Shinin is a joke of a "Doctor" He wants me to come in 3-4 times per year for an office visit and pay money to renew my prescriptions. He feels that he is making exceptions for calling me to communicate lab results. I waited almost two weeks for him to call me to review some lab results. I had to call him to remind him to review my lab results. This has happened twice. He has recently over the "courtesy phone call" reviewed the wrong, older, lab results. He is not a professional. He is only interested in generating money by demanding too frequent office visits. My visits are not thorough and are rushed. I do not recommend “Doctor” John Shinin.

Poor management, refusal of service
We showed up for our appt as our insurance assigned him as our doctor. They took all of our information and tried to collect a co payment for our first wellness visit, which is not applicable for us. They said they called the manager once we denied payment and suddenly they no longer take new patients with our insurance. We are to full time working parents, we had our child with us, this was completely unacceptable. I called our insurance and this is a doctor listed as accepting our insurance and was assigned to us. So was it a problem on our insurance end or where they not able to get money out of us and suddenly can't take our insurance, I guess we'll never know because I do not trust them to return.
